Exciton manipulation and transport in 2D semiconductor heterostructures — •Andras Kis — École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland

New opportunities are enabled by the band structure of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) in which we could harness the valley degree of freedom for valleytronics and next-generation photonics. Long-lived interlayer excitons in van der Waals heterostructures based on TMDCs have recently emerged as a promising platform for this, allowing control over exciton diffusion length, energy and polarization. I will show here how by using MoS2/WSe2 van der Waals heterostructures, we can realize excitonic transistors with switching action, confinement and control over diffusion length at room temperature in a reconfigurable potential landscape. On the other hand, the weak interlayer interaction and small lattice mismatch in MoSe2/WSe2 heterostructures results in brightening of forbidden optical transitions, allowing us to resolve two separate interlayer transitions with opposite helicities and meV-scale linewidths.Our more advanced excitonic devices now also offer the way to manipulate the motion of valley (spin) polarized excitons.
